    When Renee had first reunited with Quinton, Margaret found Quinton a dangerous and extreme person. That was why Renee had to exin Quinton''s past with Joanne to Margaret. Margaret had felt sorry for both of them when she heard their story, so she didn''t mind talking to Joanne. "Leave it to me. I''ll take good care of Ms. Garcia," Margaret promised. She had wanted to meet Joanne for a long time, and as a member of the Everheart family, she had always wanted to repay Joanne. Since Joanne was there, Margaret could finally take the opportunity to do it. After some contemtion, she entered the room where Joanne was.


    Meanwhile, Quinton was still angry that Renee had dragged him out of Joanne''s room. He wanted to keep arguing with Joanne.


    "Enough!" Rene finally yelled in frustration. "Quinton, can you stop making a scene and being so pretentious?"Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "What did you say?" Quinton was shocked, and stared at Renee in disbelief. "What do you mean? Did you finally see my dark side and start hating me? You can''t take me anymore?"


    "No, that''s not it. I just want you to stop making a scene." Renee knew that Quinton was a sensitive person, and even a small change in her expression was enough to make him overthink and question himself. Hence, she had always been careful and tried her best to not be mad at him, but he had gone overboard this time, and she couldn''t let it go like she usually did.


    "Am I pretentious?" Quinton sneered and looked at Renee with disappointment. "I thought my sister would take my side and understand my thoughts and pain... but instead, you think I''m pretentious?"


    "I understand your pain, but I understand Joanne''s too. You''re not the only one who got hurt in this. She''s hurt too, and she''s suffered more than you in some aspects because she''s a weak and young woman that went through so much misfortune... but does she me everyone else and act like she wants to destroy the world?" Renee asked firmly. She was done trying to be gentle with Quinton; all that did was spoil him. He only ever cared about his feelings and how things would affect him. Joanne, or any other woman for that matter, wouldn''t be able to handle such a self-centered person.


    "You''re saying that she''s the victim even though she''d betrayed me?'' Quinton never expected Renee to take Joanne''s side, and it hurt. "I have to admit that she''s good. You only met her a few times, but she already managed to get you on her side. She made you think I''m a sinful man with her innocent looks. Well, if she really was that pure and harmless, my face wouldn''t have been ruined and I wouldn''t have almost died in the sea!" "You brought it on yourself!" Renee''s gaze turned sharp. "You should have never harmed her child!"


    "What do you know?" Quinton''s eyes turned bloodshot. "Do you know that child''s background?"
